Answer:
x=-2, y=1
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve a system of equations, you set x+3 and 2x+5 equal to each other and solve. This simplifies to x=-2. Then you plug itin to one of the equations to get y. Hope this helps and have a magnificent day!!!!! Stay safe!!!
Answer:
Since, Robin is twice as old as Earl,
Thus, the ratio of the age of robin and earl = 2 : 3
Let the age of robin = 2x and the age of earl = 3x
Where x is any number,
According to the question,
3×Age of Adam = 2x + 6
Age of Adam = 1/3(2x+6)
Also, Age of Adam = Age of earl - 8
⇒ 1/3(2x+6) = 3x - 8
⇒ 2x + 6 = 9x - 24
⇒ -7x = - 30
⇒ x = 30/7
Hence, the age of Robin = 2x = 2×30/7 = 60/7 years
The age of Earl = 3x = 3×30/7=90/7 years
The age of Adam = 34/7 years
It is important to look at all
the information’s already given in the question. Those information’s will come
in handy while solving the question.
Number of dogs in the shelter = 60
Percentage of puppies in the shelter = 15%
Then
Number of puppies in the shelter = (15/100) * 60
= 900/100
= 9
So there are a total of 9 puppies in the shelter.
I hope the procedure is clear
enough for you to understand. I am glad to have helped you.
